SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

Section 70110 of the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act of 2002 

(Pub. L. 107–295, Nov. 25, 2002) 

provides that the Secretary of Homeland 

Security may impose conditions of entry 

on vessels requesting entry into the 

United States arriving from ports that 

are not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures. The Coast Guard 

has been delegated the authority by the 

Secretary to carry out the provisions of 

this section. The Docket contains 

previous notices imposing or removing 

conditions of entry on vessels arriving 

from certain countries and those 

conditions of entry and the countries 

they pertain to remain in effect unless 

modified by this notice. 

The Coast Guard has determined that 

ports in Indonesia, with certain 

exceptions, are not maintaining effective 

anti-terrorism measures. Accordingly, 

effective March 10, 2008, Coast Guard 

will impose the following conditions of 

entry on vessels that visited ports in 

Indonesia with the exception of PT 

Terminal Petikemas Surabaya, 

Banjarmasin Port, PT Pertamina Unit 

Pemasaran III Jakarta, Pertamina Unit 

Pengolahan V Balikpapan, Senipah 

Terminal Total E&P Indonesia 

Balikpapan, Caltex Oil Terminal Dumai, 

Pelindo II Conventional Terminal

Terminal, PT Pupuk Kaltim Bontang, PT 

Badak Bontang, PT Indominco Mandiri 

Bontang, Pertamina Unit Pengolahan II 

Dumai, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia I 

Cabang Dumai, Semarang International 

Container Terminal, Belawan MultiPurpose Terminal and PT Multimas 

Nabati Asahan during their last five port 

calls. Vessels must: 

• Implement measures per the ship’s 

security plan equivalent to Security 

Level 2; 

• Ensure that each access point to the 

ship is guarded and that the guards have 

total visibility of the exterior (both 

landside and waterside) of the ship 

while the ship is in an Indonesian port 

other than those specified above. Guards 

may be provided by the ship’s crew, 

however additional crewmembers 

should be placed on the ship if 

necessary to ensure that limits on 

maximum hours of work are not 

exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest 

are met, or provided by outside security 

forces approved by the ship’s master 

and Company Security Officer; 

• Attempt to execute a Declaration of 

Security; 

• Log all security actions in the ship’s 

log; 

• Report actions taken to the 

cognizant U.S. Coast Guard Captain of

the Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters; 

and 

• Ensure that each access point to the 

ship is guarded by armed, private 

security guards and that they have total 

visibility of the exterior (both landside 

and waterside) of the ship while in U.S. 

ports. The number and position of the 

guards has to be acceptable to the 

cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the 

Port prior to the vessel’s arrival. 

With this notice, the current list of 

countries not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures is as follows: 

Indonesia, Cameroon, Equatorial 

Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, and 

Mauritania.

Transportation Worker Identification 

Credential Program 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that 

the Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) has forwarded the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

abstracted below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval of an extension of 

the currently approved collection under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR 

describes the nature of the information 

collection and its expected burden. TSA 

published a Federal Register notice, 

with a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments, of the following collection of 

information on December 3, 2007, 72 FR 

67945. The collection mechanisms 

include (1) a Disclosure Form that 

requires a TWIC applicant to certify his/ 

her eligibility and provide basic 

biographic information and (2) a 

customer satisfaction survey that 

evaluates an applicant’s entire 

enrollment experience. 

DATES: Send your comments by March 

26, 2008. A comment to OMB is most 

effective if OMB receives it within 30 

days of publication. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to Nathan Lesser, Desk Officer, 

Department of Homeland Security/TSA, 

and sent via electronic mail to 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number. The ICR documentation is 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov. 

Therefore, in preparation for OMB 

review and approval of the following 

information collection, TSA is soliciting 

comments to—

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement is necessary for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Information Collection Requirement 

TSA developed the TWIC program to 

mitigate security threats and 

vulnerabilities in the national maritime 

system. The TWIC is a biometric 

credential that is issued to all mariners 

and individuals who require unescorted 

access to maritime facilities and vessels. 

Before issuing an individual a 

credential, TSA performs a security 

threat assessment, which requires the 

collection of certain biographic and 

biometric information during the 

enrollment process. Each TWIC 

applicant must complete the TWIC 

Disclosure and Certification Form. This 

form provides the applicant a Privacy 

Act Notice and a Paperwork Reduction 

Act Statement, explains how an 

applicant’s biographic information will 

be used, and requires each applicant to 

certify his/her eligibility for a TWIC, as 

required in the TWIC final rule. The 

TWIC Enrollment Customer Satisfaction 

Survey is entirely voluntary. However, 

participation is recommended to all 

applicants in order to provide the 

government key insights regarding the 

quality of each applicant’s enrollment 

experience (initial enrollment through 

completion of card activation). The data 

collected from the surveys will be used 

for process improvements and 

contractor performance reviews. 

The TWIC program implements 

authorities set forth in the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act of 2002 

(MTSA) (Pub. L. 107–295; Nov. 25, 

2002; sec. 102), and the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy 

for Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–

59; Aug. 10, 2005; sec. 7105), codified 

at 49 U.S.C. 5103a(g). TSA and the 

United States Coast Guard (Coast Guard) 

issued a joint final rule on January 25, 

2007, cited in the Federal Register, 72 

FR 3492. 

Applicants may provide enrollment 

data electronically during an optional 

pre-enrollment step, via an enrollment 

Web site which streamlines the 

applicant’s enrollment experience. 

Applicants who pre-enroll are able to 

provide all of the biographic 

information electronically that is 

required to complete enrollment and 

make an appointment at the enrollment 

center where enrollment must be 

completed in-person. During in-person 

enrollment, applicants pay the 

enrollment fee, complete a TWIC 

Disclosure and Certification Form 

(required of all applicants), provide and 

verify biographic information (if not 

already provided during pre-enrollment) 

and a complete set of fingerprints, and 

sit for a digital photograph. All 

applicants are required to provide 

acceptable documents to verify their 

identity and immigration status (if 

required) at this time as well. These 

documents are reviewed by the Trusted 

Agent and scanned into the electronic 

enrollment record. The current 

estimated annualized reporting burden 

is 1,353,100 hours and the estimated 

annualized cost burden is $14,779,500 

(low)/$18,063,833 (high). 

Title: Transportation Worker 

Identification Credential Program. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection 

mechanisms.
